Village's Operating Tax Levy May Drop

GLEN ELLYN — For the second year in a row, the operating levy for Glen Ellyn will decrease slightly. The proposed property-tax levy is 0.10 percent less than last year's.

"Our other revenue sources are exceeding our expectations," said Sheryl Ligon, management services director, who recently presented the figures to the Village Board.

Offsetting the decrease is a 4 percent boost in the library's budget. The additional expenses are related to the new building, such as expenses for new materials and additional labor hours. The combined levy will result in a 1.5 percent overall increase.
